XLV Ghetto Gate

[5:00]

I'm excited to start my homemade FAE next!

Let us know how that goes for sure. Very interesting!

Do you think that would be the same for a 2007 Supra SSV22' - straight back extension?

Yes it should be, only real angle gate is the Malibu, bu they have the wedge. Which I believe plays into it, so straight hull ext should work fine.

That's an interesting theory to pursue. I have a friend with an F23 tomcat that has fully automatic gates with Lenco actuators. He always deploys them to full despite his ability to deploy them at any angle from 0 to 22.5

I got to try my gate last Sat. but then had a busy weekend and an early flight Tues. morning for work. Got back after 2 am this morning and haven't been on here all week. I ran 750 in the surf side rear and about 450 in the opposite locker with around 350 in my mini IBS plus 400 in the center. Boat was fairly level and wake was decent. I filled my 400 under the seat and it got better with the boat listed. Only had 5 kids with me in the boat so not a ton of weight or as much as we usually run. I noticed I need almost no wake plate (maybe up 10-15%). But the wake was bigger, further back, longer and more fun than normal. Really loved it and was able to ride out a 360 for the first time. Hope I can get out again soon and try some tweaks to see if will get even better. Definitely worth the $35 I have in it. I'll try to find some pics of us riding it.

I have one, was fairly easy, hardest part was keeping it on, there's a lot of pressure coming out of the exhaust. All sourced from HD.
